Nando’s ‘misleading’ free lunch ad banned by watchdog

Ad Standards has banned a “misleading” Nando’s ad for giving customers the impression they could receive a free lunch in-store between 11am and 2pm, when there were hidden terms and conditions which meant only the first 250 people would receive “lunch on us”.

The ad posted to Nando’s Facebook page says “Lunch on us Monday 5th – Friday 9th Feb, 11am-2pm”, however, a complaint posted to Ad Standards said when they arrived for a free lunch, they were told there “was a limit of the first 250 people so to get in early when it starts so you don’t miss out”.

The ad is still available on Facebook
